  1. I've done something similar. Too many times tbh. If there was room, I reckon you'd have done better to put some throttle on and make sure you were safe.
  2. All the best @Fiddlesticks
  3. There was no way you'd get a reduction on Rukka 10 years ago, no matter how black a Friday you shopped on. Times change though.
  4. Great looking bike you've got yourself there!

    Sounds rough@bud. Hope you're better soon.
  6. We've had the oldest one on his own for a sleepover and he was as good as an angel. But when they bring their parents with them, it's a completely different story.

    Flue jab

    Sorry for your mate, @Bender. Hoping for a better day for him tomorrow. Makes you think, doesn't it? Might get myself a jab next year.
  8. Friday, Saturday, Sunday? Three rounds and still standing? Sir, you are a machine.
  9. Personally, I wouldn't have them. I've always believed your boot should end mid-shin, as this gives you the most of chance of breaking your leg instead of wrecking your ankle or your knee. Also, I'm the kind of person whose laces always come undone, and I wouldn't want a loose lace getting tangled in the chain. Not a issue if you have a shaft drive, I guess.

    Flue jab

    I don't bother with flu jabs. Every time I've had one, it's made me really rough for a couple of days. I don't have any illnesses that would make flu serious, so I opt for a small chance of a week in bed to an almost certain chance of two days' feeling grim.
  11. Forward planning always impresses me.
  12. Wasn't that a bit slidey today?
  13. I guess you've read the reviews? I've found this one on the 500 from Bennetts https://www.bennetts.co.uk/bikesocial/reviews/bikes/honda/honda-cmx500-rebel-2020-review-price-spec. I like the way he says its not underpowered, it's just a bike that's not intended for rushing about on. For me, the soft suspension would put me off, but again, you only newd sporty suspension if you want to rush around. If you're after a chilled Sunday afternoon style ride, then the bike sounds spot on.

    VOGE R125 Maintenance

    Is your bike new as in brand new? If so, best to ask the dealer or check in the handbook. There are obvious things like, you need to check your tyre pressures, check the oil level, and keep the chain oiled. Clean the chain every 1000 miles or more often if you're riding in wet or muddy conditions. As for servicing, normally a brand new bike needs an oil change at 600 miles or so, and then services at regular intervals. What's needed is in the handbook, and it's important to follow the schedule it sets out.
  16. Ours will happily run for 3 or 4 hours on a single wash if we give it free rein. We have set all kinds of quick this and quick that buttons before it will turn washing around in under 90 minutes.

    Ouch hard lessons. @Aman Your right that it's easier with a main stream manufacturer - loads of after market parts and plenty of good advice on how to do it right. And help when it goes wrong. Sorry though - none of this is helpful to you.
  18. It's a security feature: you've got yourself an auto-shred zone.
  19. Is it? That's not how it appears if you live in Ireland:
  20. As above, I've used Pyramid Plastics before, no problem with them.
  21. They were 50% more than Bennetts to insure my car this month. Don't really understand it, as last year they were very competitive. When my bike was nicked in 2020, I was insured through BikeSure, and no-one there even mentioned 4th Dimension to me.
  22. Nice weather for you @Gerontious
  23. Bad news of MV Agusta too; KTM own half the company and run the whole of their parts operations.
  24. I've a mate with a metal garage. He says condensation's a problem; it sometimes rains inside, dripping off the roof onto the bikes. PS to the mate with the metal garage, you know who you are. This is for you
  25. If Sportsbike shop does them, you can send them back for free if they don't fit. HelmetCity might do the same deal nowadays too.
